Subject: [PATCH v4 1/4] kernel/reboot: emergency_restart: set correct
 system_state

From: Benjamin Bara <benjamin.bara@...data.com>

As the emergency restart does not call kernel_restart_prepare(), the
system_state stays in SYSTEM_RUNNING.

Since bae1d3a05a8b, this hinders i2c_in_atomic_xfer_mode() from becoming
active, and therefore might lead to avoidable warnings in the restart
handlers, e.g.:

[   12.667612] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1 at kernel/rcu/tree_plugin.h:318 rcu_note_context_switch+0x33c/0x6b0
[   12.676926] Voluntary context switch within RCU read-side critical section!
...
[   12.742376]  schedule_timeout from wait_for_completion_timeout+0x90/0x114
[   12.749179]  wait_for_completion_timeout from tegra_i2c_wait_completion+0x40/0x70
...
[   12.994527]  atomic_notifier_call_chain from machine_restart+0x34/0x58
[   13.001050]  machine_restart from panic+0x2a8/0x32c

Avoid these by setting the correct system_state.

Fixes: bae1d3a05a8b ("i2c: core: remove use of in_atomic()")
